In March this year, a small team consisting of Dave De Vera and Sam Pedragosa of PAFID and Grazia Borrini-Feyerabend and Vanessa Reid from the Consortium visited the Kalahan Indigenous, local community in Northern Luzon, the Philippines, to help them create a Photo-Story of their ICCA. The Kalahan have an ICCA known locally as Kuyanmi of which international mining companies intend to mine (predominantly gold and copper) at the heart of it. The community is strong however, and united in their fight to protect their Kuyanmi. PAFID, over the past decade, has facilitated many participatory community mapping training sessions and helped the community prepare 2D and 3D topographical maps. PAFID has also facilitated the community with training to carry-out biodiversity inventories.
